Comment:

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. A lecture supposed to be 3 hours is done in just a single hour (so lot of stuff is glossed over or skipped) and her grading system is just bad. Almost like it's based entirely on her mood. The grading for group report/project will be the big hitter. Don't bother with her as a prof, the textbook will be a better prof

Comment:

Dr. Snow was an amazing marketing professional and mentor. I worked with her as one of the co-founders to launch the first American Marketing Association Student Chapter at York University. She is one amazing strategic leader with a passion for marketing. I learned a great deal from Dr. Snow. Thank You!

Comment:

Midterm &f final were fairly easy (both worth 50% ) but the group project screwed everybody up (worth the other 50%). Kim gave very little guidance to doing the project aside from '12pt font, use subheadings, have a clear voice and be enthusiastic.' Gave my group a 60 despite having her actually saying our draft was 'excellent and very creative'

Her exams are all mc, do the reading of the textbook and surely you'll pass, she likes to skip a lot of the slides, but they're straight from the textbook, so as long as you read you're good. gives good feedback on the group project

Comment:

The professor gets easily off topic and tends to rush through the lecture, an supposed to be 3 hour lecture usually lasted anywhere between 1 hour to 1 hour and 45 minutes. Not recommend to take the course with this professor.

Comment:

She doesnt really teach in class tbh, but just do the test banks and you should be ok for the midterm and final. 90% of qns come from the test bank (all tests are mcq only). she's kind of a hard marker with the group project (worth 50%) but otherwise I was happy to take her class.

Comment:

Friendly/funny prof but hard/slow marker- says "well done" to B graded work. For an A,avoid fluff and provide creative but feasible solutions. Attendance isn't mandatory. Highly recommended- class is fun/short and you're not memorizing but are learning applicable stuff. Diff to most profs but in a good way.

Comment:

Introductory marketing is supposed to be an easy course but she made it tough. Group project is where she screwed us up, we had a very good group and did really well on group project and she kept saying that u guys are doing excellent and in the end we didn't even get 70% on the group project. For me she is one of the worst teachers at York.

She's a really good teacher. The only thing i have against her is that she marks the group project really hard. It dropped my mark from a A to a B.

Comment:

Kim Snow's lectures are useless. She won't teach you anything relevant that will appear on the exams. On the other hand, she is very helpful towards the project and gives excellent feedback. Her tests are very easy as they just repeat the questions straight from testbanks. Textbook was not even needed.

Comment:

Kim Snow is clearly experienced in the real world of corporate marketing. Her slides are simple and she skims through them in the class. Literally every question in the two exams is repeated from the testbanks. Would have easily gotten an A+ if not for the 50% group project (prez + report). No need to attend class if you're not working on the proj.

Comment:

I took the course in summer so was not that tough. But be careful with the group project. It is nice if you get a good group, otherwise it sucks. Group project is worth 50% and prof doesn't give you enough feedback on it. So its gonna bring your grades down no matter how hard you work for mid n final exams.

Horrible AVOID! wastes time copying the textbook into her powerpoints only to skips half of them during lecture, doesn't tell you her expectations on assignment worth 50% clearly, and when you do everything right, you still get below a C+, doesnt give exam reviews either, my class got the worst class avg on the midterm in her 20 years of teaching

Lectures are very simple. Group project is fairly easy, everyone in the class got a good mark there. I spent an hour max working on the project. The exams are basically entirely textbook based. She's a fair marker.

Comment:

Seriously, you think she's nice but the grading is so random and arbitrary that the class is NOT WORTH IT. I hate when profs don't provide a fair system for grading and expectations!! She comments that group projects had almost no mistakes and were "very well done" but no As! Exams are very unclear and highest mark was low! Don't risk her class!
